At the heart of most machines is the motor that supplies the power. Just like |
|||||||
|
real internal combustion and steam engines use pistons to turn the drive |

|
shaft, Polymorf pistons power the model's action. The three basic types are: |
. | ||||||
| the triangle prism piston, the cube piston , and the hexagonal prism piston. | |||||||

| This gizmo is comprised of two pistons that are connected together by hinged | |||||||
